ECOHH is based out of Amiskwaciwâskahikan on the traditional territory of the Nêhiyawak (Cree), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Dene, Isga Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda), and the Otipimiswak Métis Nation of Alberta. We believe a treaty is an inheritance, a responsibility, and a relationship. We hope by recognizing our status as treaty people it will help us to be good stewards of the land, good ancestors to all our children and good neighbours to one another.
